Most fights occur during times of low-light or even complete darkness. Training during daylight hours alone is not preparing you to win should you ever need to fight with your firearm in the dark. That`s why Front Sight offers you a selection of our courses at night. We offer our night courses during the summer months when the daytime temperatures in southern Nevada are quite hot but the nights are beautiful. The weather during the night courses is usually about 70-75°, calm, and clear. Who could ask for better training conditions?

Hours of Training:

Please arrive at Front Sight by 5:30 P.M. on the first evening of your course. The courses run from 6:30 P.M. to 12:30 A.M.

How are the night courses different from the daytime versions?

Front Sight`s night courses start in the evening before the sun sets. This allows a brief review of the skills learned during the prerequisite courses. As the sun sets and the light fades, you will be learning low-light techniques to get reliable hits on your target. Once the ambient light is gone, you will be using your flashlight to gain target identification, sight alignment, and sight picture. You will learn night-specific After Action Drills and malfunction clearances.

The night courses offer a variety of tactical exercises and do not have a skills test.

The weapon must be fully functional, have all factory-installed safety devices intact, and have no dangerous modifications (such as a “hair” trigger less than 4 pounds (for Double Action (DA) pistols, this refers to the initial trigger press when the pistol is decocked), removed trigger guard, etc.)

“Pocket Pistols” are not allowed due to their very small size and difficulty of use.

Holsters must be on the belt, correctly fit the weapon, completely cover the trigger guard, remain open when the weapon is removed, not allow the weapon to cover the shooter’s body, and not have a trigger guard retention device (such as the Blackhawk Serpa model and others). NO thigh rigs, cross-draw, etc.

A minimum of three magazines and two single or one double magazine pouch is recommended. Magazine pouches worn on the belt on the side opposite the handgun. Speed loader holders worn in front of the holster.

Electronic hearing protection is mandatory and is available at the Front Sight Pro Shop or numerous retailers.

Hand-held flashlight (such as a SureFire 6P)

Clear eye protection

200 rounds of factory ammunition is required, NO reloads.
